Login the user and retrieve the protected page

The php script below, copy and paste on top of your html tag, this script should come first before anything else in your application. In this script, this script will open our database, in the table select the appropriate user and compare it with the one typed in the input field, if the two data are equally the same it open protected page for user. If it's not available in our database will open error page and display what went wrong. Now copy the code below and paste on top of your html file and save it as index.php run the page type username and password to login and view user profile.

//set login cookie <!--php if(!empty($_POST["remember"])) { setcookie ("userlog", $_POST["userlog"], time()+ (86400 * 30), "/"); setcookie ("userpass", $_POST["userpass"], time()+ (86400 * 30), "/"); } else { setcookie("userlog", ""); setcookie("userpass", ""); } //start session session_start(); //database user details $servername = "localhost"; $username = "webdesign"; $password = "web@design&33"; $dbname = "webdesign"; // Create connection $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if ($conn--->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } //Post data from input stream if (isset($_POST["submitLogin"])) { if(empty($_POST["userlog"])) { echo "<script>alert('Please enter username.');</script>"; exit; }else{ $userlog = $_POST['userlog']; } if(empty($_POST["userpass"])) { echo "<script>alert('Please enter password.');</script>"; exit; }else{ $userpass = $_POST['userpass']; } //Select username and password $sql = "SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE username='$userlog' AND password='$userpass'"; $result = $conn->query($sql); if ($result->num_rows === 1) { $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); } //Validate username and password if ($row['username'] === $userlog && $row['password'] === $userpass) { //Store everything in session container $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id']; $_SESSION['image'] = $row['image']; $_SESSION['fullname'] = $row['fullname']; $_SESSION['fulladdress'] = $row['fulladdress']; $_SESSION['emailaddress'] = $row['emailaddress']; $_SESSION['phonenumber'] = $row['phonenumber']; $_SESSION['username'] = $row['username']; $_SESSION['password'] = $row['password']; $_SESSION['project'] = $row['project']; $_SESSION['subscription'] = $row['subscription']; $_SESSION['gender'] = $row['gender']; $_SESSION['reg_date'] = $row['reg_date']; //If data is valid open protected page header("Location: Home.php"); exit; }else{ //If not valid open invalid page header("Location: Invalid.php"); exit; } } $conn->close(); ?>

Browsing the protected page called welcome to our homepage

Now, if every thing goes well we will retrieve a specific users from our database, especially a valid user that has been registered. It will retrieve general information about registered user such as: id, image, fullname, fulladdress, emailaddress, phonenumber, username, password, project, subscription, gender, registered date. Now, copy or write the below code manually and save it as success.php this will retrieve user profile.

<!--php session_start(); if (isset($_SESSION['id']) && isset($_SESSION['image']) && isset($_SESSION['fullname']) && isset($_SESSION['fulladdress']) && isset($_SESSION['emailaddress']) && isset($_SESSION['phonenumber']) && isset($_SESSION['username']) && isset($_SESSION['password']) && isset($_SESSION['project']) && isset($_SESSION['subscription']) && isset($_SESSION['gender']) && isset($_SESSION['reg_date'])) { ?--> <!--DOCTYPE html--> <html> <head> p { margin:20px; padding:20px; } </head> <body> <!--php echo '<p-->'.$_SESSION["id"].'</p>'; ?> <p><img alt="Image" loading="lazy" src="&lt;?php echo $_SESSION[&#39;image&#39;]; ?&gt;" width="400"></p> <!--php echo '<h2-->'.$_SESSION["fullname"].'</h2>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["fulladdress"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["emailaddress"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["phonenumber"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["username"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["password"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["project"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["subscription"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["gender"].'</p>'; echo '<p>'.$_SESSION["reg_date"].'</p>'; echo "<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>"; </body> </html> <!--php }else{ header("Location: index.php"); exit(); } ?-->

After login attempt failure in our database

While trying to login, if the username and password doesn't exist, we will re-direct the user to invalid page. Remember that we stored whatever details they type in our input field in cookie container. Now, retrieve that username and password telling them that he or she can't login and what they can do to be able to login. Copy and paste below code or write it manually, save it as invalidpage.php

<h2 style="color:red; text-align:center;">Attention please!</h2> <hr> <h3>The below details are not valid:</h3> <p><b>Your username: <!--php if(isset($_COOKIE["userlog"])) { echo $_COOKIE["userlog"];}?--></b></p> <p><b>Your password: <!--php if(isset($_COOKIE["userpass"])) { echo $_COOKIE["userpass"];}?--></b></p> <h4>To be able to login you need to register: </h4> <ol> <li>Provide profile picture</li> <li>Provide full name</li> <li>Provide full address</li> <li>Provide email address</li> <li>Provide phone number</li> <li>Provide username</li> <li>Choose password</li> <li>Select project type</li> <li>Select gender option</li> </ol> <p>There is no already made account which you can initialize to login. You need to register and obtain new account.</p> <p><a style="margin:0; padding:15px; background:#04AA6D; font-size:18px; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; display:block; border-radius:10px; text-decoration:none; color:white;" href="logout.php">Login or register</a></p>

<!--php session_start(); session_unset(); session_destroy(); header("Location: index.php"); ?-->
